Han Muzi looked at Yan helplessly. Just how much does this girl like Han Qing? She wants to see him everyday?
When she saw Han Muzi’s bewildered expression, Yan shyly lowered her gaze and recovered her normal, cheerful self after a while before she cleared her throat.
“I know you must think that I’m too initiative. But… if I don’t grab this opportunity, what if Han Qing has feelings for other women? When that happens, no matter how much I want to try, I won’t have the chance anymore.”
Han Muzi was speechless upon hearing that.
“On top of that, if I don’t reinforce his memory by showing up around him everyday, your brother might just forget about my existence in a few days.”
“I know.” Han Muzi nodded. She suddenly smiled at Yan’s worried expression. “At most three days. After three days, I’ll let Little Bean come back to you to be your love guru.”
“Really?” Yan asked, sounding pleasantly surprised to hear that.
“Yup.”
After Yan remembered Ye Moxuan’s cold expression, she felt a little fearful and bit her lips before asking, “W-What if… Young Master Ye doesn’t agree to that? After all, things are different now.”
By this stage, Little Bean had already known that Ye Moxuan was his father. He was not just a normal person on the streets; he was Young Master Ye from the Ye Family in North City. If he knew that she wanted his son to be her love guru, Yan had no idea how she would survive that.
“I’m sure he won’t disagree with that.” Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I’ve already told you—it’s just three days. You just have to bear with it these few days.”
Three days… Yan suspected that there was more to it than meets the eye when she heard the timeframe. Is Muzi going to try something? After three days, if Young Master Ye disagrees to that, is she… going to take her son back forcefully?
Now that they had finally made peace with each other, if they got into a fight again, it could have a ricochetting effect. She asked tentatively when she thought about this. “Er, Muzi? Why don’t we ignore my personal matters for a while? I think that your happiness is the most important thing here. After all, Little Bean is your child. Even though I really like Han Qing, I can’t be this selfish…”
“Who said you’re selfish? What on earth are you thinking?” Han Muzi crossed her arms and looked at Yan with an amused expression on her face, believing that Yan had misunderstood something.
“Now that you and Young Master Ye have finally reconciled with each other, I’m worried that—”
“No.” Han Muzi shook her head. “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. After all, I’ve indeed hidden this matter from him for far too long.”
“You mean…” Yan suddenly understood everything, looking at the smile on her face. “I get it now. I will wait for your good news then.”
Han Muzi smiled and remained quiet.
Time flew quickly. Han Muzi continued her life as usual. Even though there was a person less in her household, she did not feel any discomfort whatsoever. If Yan had not known about her thoughts beforehand, she would have thought that Han Muzi suffered from mental issues.
Three days had quickly arrived.
While Han Muzi continued her life as usual and went to work, Yan became increasingly worried. “Three days have passed. Muzi, you…”
“Yeah?” Han Muzi was stunned for a while before saying in surprise, “Has it been three days already? Time has passed quite quickly indeed.”
Yan suddenly felt worried, looking at Han Muzi’s nonchalant expression. What is wrong with her? It has been three days and Young Master Ye and Little Bean haven’t even appeared. Why is she so chill?
However, although she looked quite confident, Yan did not know what exactly went on within her. “Since the time is up, why don’t you pick up Little Bean a little earlier today?”
“What?” Yan widened her eyes. “You want me to pick Little Bean up slightly earlier? Is this… really fine? Have you told Young Master Ye?”
“No,” Han Muzi replied calmly.
After Yan had heard that, her face immediately sank. “Is it really fine for me to pick him up without you telling him beforehand?”
“Don’t worry. You just have to bring Little Bean back. I will go to his office to find him after I get off work.”
Yan became more relieved upon hearing that Han Muzi would talk to Ye Moxuan. As long as Han Muzi had a word with him, she could take Little Bean away.
“Alright, got it! I’ll wait for him after I get off from work earlier today.”
Time went past quickly. When it was almost time to leave the workplace, Yan quickly left after giving Han Muzi a heads up.
Han Muzi shot a glance at the phone on the table after she left. Throughout the entire day, it had been silent without anyone calling her. To be precise, her phone had been silent for many days. It seemed like Ye Moxuan had disappeared from her life. For the past three days, he did not send her any messages or call her. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.
In contrast to the way he showed up at her company and house almost instantly in the past, Han Muzi lowered her gaze helplessly without any smile.
Since Yan had already gone to pick Little Bean up, Han Muzi thought that it would probably be better for her to go to the Ye Group to wait for Ye Moxuan.
Han Muzi acted on her thoughts almost immediately. After she had finished all her work, she left the company and drove to Ye Group.
At the Ye Group, when Han Muzi had arrived, it was almost time for everyone to get off work. She decided that it would be best to wait for him in the lobby. If she went up to look for him, she thought that he might try to avoid her.
However, waiting in her car at the entrance for too long was not an option, so she parked at a nearby parking bay before going to the opposite cafe. After she had a cup of coffee, she sat at a spot near the windows. It was quite a good position indeed—the lighting was good and she could see everything opposite her through the clear glass.
As soon as Ye Moxuan was out, she could see him immediately. Han Muzi held her phone and opened WeChat to look at the all-familiar profile picture, hesitating on whether she could call him or not. After she hesitated, she thought that there was no need for her to do so since she was already there. It would be the best to just go and see him directly.
As seconds and minutes ticked by, Han Muzi finally saw a familiar figure walking out from the company five minutes after the end of business hour. Her heart raced as she snatched the cup of coffee with her hands and grabbed the bag before running out.
With his car keys in his hand, Ye Moxuan frowned when he walked out because he realized that he had left work too late. If he went to pick Little Bean up now, the latter would have waited for him for a long time. Hence, he walked quickly. Han Muzi was behind him, panting as she tried to catch up to him in her high heels. Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan increased his pace in his worry.
Han Muzi thought that he had already discovered her presence and did not want him to catch up to him because he refused to see her, which angered her. She stopped in her tracks and shouted at him, “Ye Moxuan!”
The man in front of her stopped. Ye Moxuan’s frown deepened. Am I having hallucinations? I think… I heard that woman’s voice? That’s ain’t right. According to her behavior, how would she come and find me? Probably it’s because I’ve missed her too much recently, which explains why I am having hallucinations.
